Episode 369 - Alan Thompson - W6WN
Alan Thompson, W6WN, was a volunteer rescuer to
the Camp Fire in Northern California a few years ago. This experience made
Alan an evangelist for the deployment and use of conventional radio
communications and the training that saves lives and property, as a backup
to the costly but fragile smartphone systems that suddenly do not work in a
natural disaster. Alan tells his ham radio story in this QSO Today.

"WIIFM" - Whats in it for ME?
"WIIFU" - Whats in it for our club?
Greatest challenge facing amateur radio now: relevance. "Amateur radio is
not a hobby, it is a service".
